Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process

17 years ago

On a current thread, several people mentioned they are not getting emails of responses sent to them when they start a thread. I gave instructions in that thread, but I thought I'd start a separate thread with the information so everyone sees it.


There are three things you have to do to get emails sent to you:

  1. Be sure you have a valid/current email address in your profile

Again in your profile, be sure you have the "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site." box checked (at the bottom of the profile page)
Be sure to check the box labeled "Check here if you would like copies of follow-ups to your message emailed to you" when you submit your new message/thread. (Below the "Message" box)

Hmmm...maybe a 4th step...don't forget to "Save Your Member Profile" when you make changes! (button at bottom of profile page)

If you do all 3 (or 4!) things, you should get an email when someone posts to your message. Item 1 should be retroactive and Item 3 is not (you cannot update a Thread); I don't know if item 2 is retroactive. All future messages, though, should be fine.

HTH!
